Filmmaker Malcolm Klock has created a short video that offers a beautiful look back at the video games of 2014 in under two minutes. For the purposes of inclusion, Klock only accounted for North American release dates and disqualified any remakes, remasters, and ports.

2014 has been an intense time for games. It has been a year of big delays, messy launches, and non-stop controversy. It has also been a year in which both AAA and indie developers produced innumerable games that overflowed with both artistry and ambition. This is a celebration of their work, and hopefully a re-affirmation that video games are something worth believing in.
